Full Service Graduates: January 2018

Maude, a Labrador Retriever from Clearwater

Maude flunked out of guide dog school for being too much of a trouble maker, and her shenanigans were making life difficult for her new owners. Now that she has been through our Full Service, she is a much more respectful member of the household.

Wally, a Terrier Mix from Clearwater

Wally was quite the spunky little student. He had a bite record when he came to us, and his cute fluffy face lulled people into a false sense of security. He had one of the more challenging transitions we’ve had, but is now doing fantastic.

Murphy, a Golden Retriever from Jacksonville

Murphy was a case of an awesome dog getting even more awesome. This Golden Retriever went from being pushy and a little wild, to being a model citizen. His parents also followed through really well in our advice to give him jobs, and have started agility and nosework with him.

Toby, a Lab from St Petersburg

We were not Toby’s first trainer, but we are his last! This crazy lab was the worst jumper we have ever seen. It took lots of patience and creativity, but he is now one of our biggest turnarounds. He is now able to even go out on the boat with his parents and fit right in peaceful vacations.

Sonny, a Terrier Mix from St Pete

Sonny had developed some bad habits in the potty training department, and had a more dangerous habit of bolting out the front door. We gave him new jobs and rules, and he is now the perfect dog.

Cola, a German Shepherd from Seminole

Cola’s dad had a lucky find when he discovered a beautiful, working line GSD on Craigslist! Cola had nice genetics and the best temperament we’ve seen from a GSD in awhile, and now he has training to match.

Holly, a Collie/Greyhound Mix from St Petersburg

Holly came to us for some very serious dog aggression. She was rescued in Miami with an unknown background, but she definitely was not adapting to life at her new home. We were able to get her to be very tolerant of dogs in her environment, and she thriving in her new routine.
